Rash on thighs..

I have been using Huggies with my DS for almost a year now. A few days ago I noticed that he has a rash on his left thigh, where the diaper meets his leg. I have been putting either Desitin or powder on it when I change his diaper. It is not getting better or worse, and he doesn't act like it hurts him. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clear it up?

Might be a topical yeast infection. My DS gets them every now (VERY sensitive skin) and then from being wet in the diaper area for a longer period of time (overnight) and our pedi gives us what's called Nystatin to put on. clears up in a day or two.. I'd call if it doesn't get better on its own.

We cloth diaper and dd has been getting really pink there. I try putting aquaphore between the diaper and thigh. Next wash I'm going to try adjusting the elastic. Also try diaper free time and backing soda in bath water.

That happens to us once in a while. It's right where the cuff of the diaper is, correct? Vaseline seems to usually work best for us, because it keeps the cuff from irritating the skin even more.

When I used to run (a long, long time ago!) I would sometimes get a similar rash, Like a pp said, it's really just chafing. It was caused by clothing rubbing against my skin. I used a product called Body Glide then, but vaseline serves the same purpose.

If Vaseline doesn't work, try temporarily using a different brand of diaper or a larger diaper.
